Chapter 31: Emperor Cheng fell in love with Zhang Fang
We mentioned earlier: Zhang Fang and Emperor Cheng were playmates when they were children. Zhang Fang is still in prison. His mother, Princess Jingwu, always gave money to the jailers, so much so that Zhang put lobster and abalone in prison.
The jailer Lao Wang said, "Lord Zhang. The old man has been a jailer for half his life. I've never seen a prisoner Dunton abalone. You've really blown my mind away. ”
"Haha. This son is the son of Princess Jingwu. Who dares to touch me except Your Majesty? Back then, no one dared to stand in my way when I walked on the street. After going to Yihong Courtyard to play, you can pat your ass and leave. Zhang Fang smiled lewdly.
"So the son took me to Yihong Courtyard, and I didn't even have to pay the money? So good. I really want to follow Childe. The jailer's eyes were full of yearning.
"Haha. What is this, you haven't seen the eight famous prostitutes in the capital Lichun Courtyard. Lao Tzu went to Lichun Courtyard, and if she wanted someone to accompany her, she had to come. Whatever they are told to do, they have to do. I'm so happy. Zhang Fang laughed.
"Master Zhang, you are really the first of our big men. Then there are only a few beauties in His Majesty's harem, and it is estimated that he has long been tired of seeing them. You've played all over the major Yihong Courtyards. The jailer laughed.
"Wait for Young Master Ben to go out. Young Master Ben asked my cousin, His Majesty to give you an official rank and knighthood. Zhang Fang said, a glass of white wine went down.
Zhang Fang was already red from drinking, and his spirit had reached a state of euphoria.
At this moment, a eunuch walked in and said, "Zhang Fang takes the order." ”
Zhang Fang was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, and suddenly woke up. He immediately knelt down and said tremblingly, "The minister Zhang Fang accepted the order." ”
"Your Majesty has a decree to pardon Zhang Fang." The eunuch opened the holy decree and smiled.
"Thank you, Lord Long." Zhang Fang took the holy decree and said with a smile.
"Childe, don't go back on what you just said." The jailer said.
"Okay, I'll give you a few kind words in front of Your Majesty when I go out." Zhang Fang said with a smile. Then he anointed the soles of his feet and walked away.
The jailer Lao Wang said to himself: "It seems that this time the matter is going to be in vain again." These high-ranking officials and nobles, going to prison is like playing at home. Where do we ordinary people take it seriously? Lao Wang couldn't help but sigh.
"Haha. I'm free. After Zhang Fang walked out of the prison, he shouted.
Princess Jingwu suddenly appeared in front of him and said, "Son, why did you forget the pain just after the scar? Your Majesty's ability to pardon you is entirely due to this palace. Do you really think it's your brotherly relationship? This palace tells you that Your Majesty has changed a long time ago. ”
"The queen mother, the child knows that he is wrong." Zhang Fang said with a sad face.
"Really? If this palace doesn't come, are you thinking about which Yihong Courtyard to go to to find flowers and ask willows? Isn't it that Lichun Yuan has chosen Oiran again recently? "Princess Jingwu is right.
"No, no. Absolutely nothing. How do children go to what kind of places? O Queen Mother. Zhang Fang laughed.
"Really? So what is this? Princess Jingwu immediately took out an emerald green ring-shaped jade pendant.
"Isn't that my thing?" Zhang Fang said curiously.
"No, this is obviously at the fifteenth Oiran Liu Yemei of the Lichun Academy. And he also took this jade pendant to show off in front of Chun Yuchang. This matter is now known to everyone in Chang'an City. What else do you have to say? Princess Jingwu questioned Zhang Fangdao.
"The queen mother, the child is also to make friends with the ministers of the court. In order to get a half-official position for yourself. Zhang Fang suddenly had an idea and quibbled.
"Oh. Is it? When did my son become so motivated? The sun is really coming out in the west. But you don't have to go through the hassle anymore. The main palace has already found you an official position. Princess Jingwu smiled.
"Queen Mother, why did Your Majesty appoint me?" Zhang Fang looked at Princess Jingwu expectantly.
"There is not much of an official, just a yellow doorman." Princess Jingwu said coldly.
"What do you think there is? It's not fun. Zhang Fang said disdainfully.
The next day, Zhang Fang went to Emperor Cheng to report to him.
I saw Zhang Fang's lips red and white teeth, eight feet long, and a beautiful face, like a fairy. Emperor Cheng was stunned. He said, "Zhang Fang." You're such a beautiful man. When I was a child, why didn't I find out? ”
"Haha. Is it? Your Majesty. Zhang Fanghuai laughed.
"If you are a woman, you can definitely be my concubine." Emperor Cheng said with a smile.
"No, Your Majesty. The concubine wants to be the queen. Zhang Fang shouted angrily, twisting his little waist.
His figure looks particularly graceful with his twist.
"Cousin, you're really a pseudo-mother. I'm going to fall in love with you before I know it. Emperor Cheng smiled lewdly.
The two of them are simply a pair of living treasures.
Xiao Songzi, the eunuch on the side, looked at it and thought: Why is Your Majesty so romantic? There are so many beauties in the harem, and they still have to with their cousins? The minions couldn't bear to look at it directly.
Emperor Cheng thought to himself: Zhang Fang, this beautiful man, I want to keep possessing him.
Zhang Anxin thought: To deal with Your Majesty, it seems that you have to use a beautiful man's trick.
"Zhang Fang. I don't think women are interesting now. That's it. also thought about giving birth to a son and becoming a queen all day long. I don't want to touch such women. Emperor Cheng said with a smile.
"yes. Ministers don't like women either. So the minister has not married yet. Zhang Fang laughed.
"Then what's the matter, your queen mother is in a hurry to hold her grandson. So be it. I give you a marriage, and you marry Xu Qinglin's sister Xu Wanying. Emperor Cheng said with a smile.
"The deposed sister?" Zhang Fang said in surprise.
"yes. The abolition of the queen has been colluding with Chun Yuchang recently. I want you to get inside. The abolished sister Xu Xiao and Chun Yu had a long-term affair, singing every night, and Tian was shameless. But they thought I didn't know. Emperor Cheng said angrily and slapped the table.
Zhang Fang's face showed a look of displeasure, and he thought: Your Majesty is using me, but for the prosperity of my Zhang family, I can only fight. Isn't it just marrying a woman? Anyway, it's just a formality. When the time comes, play as you like.
Let's talk about Wang Mang's side.
He was serving as a guard in the camp tent of Da Dan Yu in the court of the Xiongnu king.
Xiongnu Da Dan Yu asked: "Wang Mang, the lonely king heard that you are both civil and military." Can you compete with Lone? ”
"Big Order. Wang Mang is no match for you. Wang Mang said humbly.
Shan Yu's eyes revealed a hint of fierceness, his eyes widened, his anger surged to his chest, and he shouted: "Wang Mang." Do you look down on us Huns? ”
"No, I don't. Big order in. Chen Wang Mang didn't mean that, don't get me wrong. Wang Mang said nervously. At this time, the geese outside the tent were singing boringly. The sound was terrible.
"In that case, why don't you compete with the Lone King?" Da Shan Yu glared at Wang Mang and asked.
So, will Wang Mang compete with Da Danyu?
